Abstract

This chapter explores a number of dimensions of ethno-archaeology and its history that are brought to the fore when archaeologists in the non-Anglophone countries of Europe, Asia, and North Africa have their say. Among others, the examples discussed in this chapter include the relationship of ethno-archaeology and archaeologists to nation states and ruling ideologies through history, the importance of the interregional scale for the understanding of local process in ethnography, history and archaeology, and the potentially fruitful relationships between ethno-archaeology and material culture studies.

Acknowledgments

This article owes its completion to the patience of the editors and a lifetime of interest and admiration for the non-Anglophone parts of the Old World, for their ethnographies and archaeologies, and empathy with their difficult histories. Thanks also to Jude and Kutya, and to the many students at the University of Massachusetts with whom I have discussed the topics covered in this article.
